Talking to the Hindustan Times, Sooraj revealed that the past 10 years have been very difficult for him. He added that he felt extremely lonely because he could not speak to his family about it, as they were already going through a lot because of him. "And besides my family, I don't really speak to anybody," he said.

"There have been people, but I have to make a mark on my own in this industry. It has been difficult. I have knocked on each and every person's door to get work," he said.

He also stated that being a star kid has not worked in his favour. He said, "I had this sword hanging over my head before I was even an actor. For me, the star kid tag doesn't really match up."
